One OF New Mexico's Buried Towns.

Socorro Bullion: "A few days ago two
prospcctors, whilo wandering over the
foothills east Of the city, accidently
stumbled on signs of previous habitation
buried under heaps of sand which had
been drifted by the winds of years. Hav-
ing selected point ut which to make an
excavation, they went to work with q
will, and in n few hours had reached the
floor of n small chamber IN the form of a
parallelogram. They found the re.
mains of several human beings, several
handsome vases carved with geometrical
figures in different colors, stone axes,
hammers, pieces of cloth apparently
manufactured from the fibre of the
yucca; several strings Of beads, sea
shells, arrow heads and an abundance of
fragments of obsldian quartz, and an in
credible quantity of pieces of broken
pottery, including several with blue
glazing. Only IN one other instance have
we ever heard of this color and quality of
ware having been discovered in this ter
ritory, and that was ut the ancient
pueblo near the Santa Rita in this coun-
try, and it indicates that the Spaniards
had lived in New Mexico before the OK
tinction of the race who inhabited this
ruined and buried village.

dealing with suoh phenomena as this the
Lick telescope will possess an enor.
nous advantage, If its powers are prop.
erly directed. With magnifying power Of
of 5000 times, Jupiter, when near opposi
tion, would appear as if only about one
hundred and thirty.thre thousand miles
awav, or something more than half the
distance of the moon If Jupiter really
were only as far away as that, 1t would
seem TO fill half the heavens. 1t would
have an apparent diameter Of over
seventy degrees, covering about twenty
thousand times as large space as the
full moon does.
Even with power of 1900 Jupiter
would be brought within an apparent
distance Of about two hundred and sixty
six thousand miles, or only three times
its own diameter away. Our present
telescope will not bear such q power sat
isfactorlly, but it ought to be available
under the best conditions, on Mount
Hamilton, for the study of the features of
Jupiter's surface. The same remarks ap.
ply to Saturn-the wondeaful world with
rings suspended around 1t. With the
great new telescope such views should

Gently been found practicable to photo.
graph stars and ncbul;e which the human
eye cannot see at all, even when aided by

What new marvels of this kind the Lick

How Much of Russia the Jews own.

London Times, A commission has
been for several years past occupied IN
Russia with inquiries as to the number of
Jews, and especially as to their position
as landholders, with view to contemp-
lated Legislation on the subject. Some
results of the investigation have lately
been published. According to the census
statistics of 1881 relating TO sixteen gov.
ernments of the south and west of the
empire there were . 1880, G39 Jews of both
sexes in total population of 25, 800, 600
Z. c., at the rate Of III per cent. The
Hebrew element is most largely repre-
sented in Lithuanla and White Russia,
and least in Little Russia. In Mink it is
as one in five, while in kharkov the pro-
portion is one to $50.
In general the Jews prefer to settle in
villages, or in towns which are not seats
of government. A striking example of
their prepandcrance is shown in the
hamlets of the Troki district (Wilna)
where they form 81 per cent OF the popu-
lation. Regarding their position as
owners or occnpiers of land in the above
mentioned provinces. which contain
1871 900, 900 acres in all, it appears that
they have purchased 800, 900 from the
mobiles since 1861, and they hold $3.50, 900
acres as tenant farmers. These lands
they do not cultivate themselves, but let
| or sublet them; as the case may be, in
small lots to tho peasants of neighboring
villages. Their profits as middlemen
have hitherto been very large There
are instances in Bessarabia, Volhynia
and Kherson of extensive districts hired
by them at from one.third to two roubles
an acre, and relet IN small lots ut four to
five roubles per acre.
In Bessaraba they have obtained long
leases of agricultural land belonging to
some foreign converts which they have
sublet IN some cases for twenty-five rou.
bles per faltcha, local measure equal to
nearly three acres. In Podolia almost
all the large estates situated in the basins
of the aflluents of the Dnesaer are held
by Jews at long terms. The system of
agriculture pursued under these new
masters is found to be no better than that
| of other classes of land spectators. The
| soil is exhausted after five or ten years
cropping, and it is not to be wondered at
that within the last decade there has
been fall of thirty per cent. in the value
of landed property.

Two Ratt1esrake Bites

READING, July 27.-Jonathan w. Butt
of this city, who was on Monday morn
stung in the finger by his pet rattle
snake, is tonight free from pain. His
fate, is however, very uncertain. From
head to foot his body is covered with
spots like those of the snake which bit
him. The wounded finger is black, the
left arm swollen and his left side discol-
ored. With the appearance of the
snake spots the swelling decreased, the
intense pain disappeared, and Butt is
able to rest for the first time since
Monday.
Butz has taken no medicine except
whisky, which has been given him in
large doses to keep the blood in circula-
ton. Michael Heller, the veteran snake
doctor, is treating the sufferer by the
old-fashioned faith-cure known as
pow-wowing." Heller is about 70 years
of age, and this is his forty-ninth case
of the kind. Whether Butt will recover
or not he can not tell until four days
have elapsed. As the injured man is
young and of strong constitution, he
expects him to recover. The affected
part has been neither cut out nor caut-
erized. Butz places entire confidencein
''pow-wowlng," and says "if necessary
he III die game"

1 see by an article of yours of the 18th

financiers will not be able to gobble il
up, as was done by our little Eastern
line few years ago, the memory OF
which is still in the minds of many OF
the little victims who never got single

stated at the commencement of opera
tons that such men AS the late Bishop
Hardy and Mr.. Auerbach, etc., had a
fourteen years hold upon the under
taking. not poor man would have been
induced to invest.
OF course, the men who are now con-
templating the construction of the
Western line are not likely to be taken
in and done for" as 1 and many of my
neighbors were. This is more en-

A jersey Cure For snake-Bites.

Mt. HOLLY, July 2S.-Although for
many years an ardent Prohibitionist.
Michael B. Bowker, resident of South
ampton, Burlington County, found it
absolutely necessary for him yesterday
to abandon his VOWS in regard to total
abstinence. Early in the morning Mr..
BoWker left his home near Tabernacle
for the purpose of gathering buckle
berries on the edge of the pine forests.
When he had wandered long distance
he came upon a spot where the fruit
hung in great clusters, and so intent
was he in gathering them that he did
not notice an immense rattlesnake
cooled directly in front OF him. AS he
reached forward to pull the bush to-
ward him, the snake fastened itself in
Mr. Bowker's hand. In a moment he
had shaken it off and started off on
run, sucking the blood from the wound
as he ran. He kept on for over mile
when he found DR.. Reeves, of Medford,
who cut out the flesh about the wound
on Mr.. Bowker' hand and then started
with him for Medford. On reaching
that place he drank quart of real old
appiejack. This had the desired effect,
and completely counteracted the effects
Of the poison.

HARRY EDWARDS SHOT.
A Peculiar Accident at Lake Park
Yesterday.


Harry Edwards, well known in this
city, and at present proprietor of the
Lake Park bar, met with peculiar &C
cident early yesterday morning. which
may yet cause the loss OF leg. After
the 6. A. B. people had left,
and Edwards had counted up
his receipts during the day, he
retired to his room. Not hav-
ing safe he took the money with him
Shortly after he had gone to bed, he
heard noise at the door, and arising
took hold of his pistol and cooked 1t.
ae lay quiet for few mo
ments and then, went to sleep,
with the revolver lying by bis
side and the hammer raised. Later he
again heard noise, and in reaching
around for his pistol the weapon was
discharged, the bullet taking effect in
the left leg, and near the knee
cap. DIR. Hamilton was telephoned
for, and at once went out to
Lake Park. Later, Mr.. Edwards was
brought to the city, and is now at st.
Marks Hospital. It is, OF course, too
early to give any exact idea as to the
real extent of his injuries, but they are
thought to be quite serious.

A Snake in tho Frying Pan

CABNARvoN, Pa, July 30.-Mss. Milton
Yohn is the wife of one of the most
respected citizens of this village. On
Tuesday she was cooking beefsteak for
dinner. While the meat was cooking
she was busying herself in another part
of the kitchen. Suddenly she heard a
peculiar swapping and cracking sound
proceeding from the stove. She turned
and stood spell-bound at what she saw.
A snake was turning and twisting and
frying in the pan with the beefstake. 1t
writhed and contorted itself for a mo-
ment, and then sank into the skillet
dead. Mrs. Yohn emptied the steak
and the snake in the yard. The village
is now puzzling itself to find out where
the snake came from, and how it got in
the frying pan. The mystery is as yet
unsolved. One epicurean old citizen
says that he will make no attempt to
solve the puzzle, but his opinion is that
the appearance of the snake in the
skilletis simply warning to Mrs. Yohn
and all other housewives not to fry
steak.

SNAKE STORIES.
How Snakes Climb Trees.

VIM. L. Wakelee writes in the
Scientific American: "Ia your valuable
journal of the 14th of May you quote
from an article which suggests that
young men most literally educated
may be ignorant of many facts and
practical matters, such, among many
others mentioned, as how steel ismade,
or how snake can climb tree have
seen snake climb tree, and while
this may not have been the orthodox
method, nor in accord with the usages
of the best ophidian society, it was to
me most interesting sight, and the
account may be of some interest to
others. A few years since was walk
ing along a broad road in Richmond
County. Ga, when from the opposite
side of the road coming directly toward
me I saw 'coachwhip,' a snake much
like the common blacksnake in form,
but in color very dark brown, some
two-thirds Of its length, the other third
to the tip Of the tail being q lighter
brown in appearance, from the peculiar
markings, much like the lash of whip.
Having nothing with which to kill the
snake, thought to amuse myself by
preventing his getting to cover in the
''thick" just beyond me; but to turn
back would leave him exposed for quite
distance, so, not being in fighting
humor, he made rush for water OAK
which grew just beyond me. the long
branches of which came down to with
in or feet of the ground; then rising
until he seemed almost to stand on the
end of his tail, he shot up like an arrow
through the branches, getting his grip
entirely by lateral pressure and not by
coiling around the branches, as
thought he would do.
